We often focus on DeFi mining and bull market trends, but we tend to overlook the most important 'bridge' of Web3: the connection between wallets and applications. WalletConnect has become a norm in on-chain connection infrastructure; now, WCT is assigning economic value to this connection—every connection has value, and every call can be seen as 'interface consumption.'
Differentiated Perspective: WCT does not earn traffic, but empowers the 'connection fee economy.'
Many people intuitively imagine WCT as yet another DeFi token, unaware that it actually establishes a form of 'interface economy':
Every connection is a type of resource.: WalletConnect has supported over 600 wallets, 40,000+ applications, and has accumulated over 150 million connections, with each call backed by data links, node operations, and cryptographic processing.
WCT provides a value carrier for connections: it is not tokenized wallets, but tokenized connections. Through WCT, node staking, rewards, and governance provide economic incentives and controllability for connection activities (such as gas fees, node rewards, and protocol fee voting).
Professional Analysis: The Dual Effect of Technical Mechanisms and Guaranteeing Network Stability
The WalletConnect network is built on a relay, gateway, and service node architecture, with its core operation and UX fluidity benefiting from the following mechanisms:
Security: Full chain encryption, information relay interception prevention, and a message 'mailbox' mechanism ensure offline message delivery (optimizing on-chain experience).
Multi-chain Compatibility: Supports major chains like Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, and Bitcoin, truly achieving a set of interfaces connecting the entire chain ecosystem.
Token Model Design: A total supply of 1 billion tokens, with 27% allocated for the ecological fund, 18.5% for airdrop incentives for users, and 17.5% to support nodes and incentives, completing a full chain incentive closed loop in staking, governance, and rewards.
Relevance: Who are the 'trading counterparties' in the future under the trends?
Recent hot topics align closely with WCT in several directions:
Cb Roadmap: It has been announced that WCT will be listed on Optimism, implying that institutions are promoting the further implementation of this connection infrastructure (AInvest).
Price Trend: Since its launch, WCT surged by 276% in a short period, and the current price is consolidating in the $0.32–0.35 range. Models predict it may rise to the $1.5–$2 range within the year.
Rule Construction Ownership: WCT holders will determine the fee model of the WalletConnect network, node permission settings, and development direction, truly becoming the 'interface economic governors' of the protocol layer.
Compared to other token-based interoperable projects, WCT's differentiation lies in its role as a builder of the connection layer itself, rather than directly embracing the traffic of a specific blockchain. Its future influence will be positively correlated with connection efficiency and stability.
Summary in One Sentence
WCT is not merely a trading token, but an 'access card': when connecting cross-chain wallets and applications, whoever provides the service can earn WCT rewards. As connection traffic continues to grow, WCT is becoming the core 'infrastructure of interface economics' in Web3.#WalletConnect $WCT @WalletConnect
